How to work it out

  1. Difference: 100 − 80 = 20
  2. Divide by the starting value: 20 ÷ 80 = 0.25
  3. Multiply by 100: 25%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 80 × (1 + 0.25) = 80 × 1.25 = 100.

In a spreadsheet: =(100-80)/80*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 1.25 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 125.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $80 to $100 has gone up by 25%.

Why the change back is different

A 25% rise followed by a 25% fall does not bring you back to 80: it gives 75. The second percentage is taken of 100, not of 80, so to undo this change you need 20% instead.
